Re: Tech Acronyms
I agree with WINDOWS. And LISP, too.
And ROBOT was very good, ZHero!

Re: Tech Acronyms
Lisp is a beautiful language.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: Tech Acronyms
I think so too, mainly cause I have one. But on Kick-As$ there was a guy who had a lisp, he was very cute. And featured in my signature.

Re: Tech Acronyms
Not a lisp, but LISP (List Processing), programming language invented by John McCarthy. The language of choice for the AI community.

Re: Tech Acronyms
Well you were the one that spelled it lowercase in the first place. And I'm still confused about this AI stuff??

Re: Tech Acronyms
Artificial Intelligence. Because in LISP everything is a list even the program itself. It was very attractive to early AI programmers.

Hi rhozillez;
Welcome to the forum! But LISP is still a beautiful language.
